So, I'm finally doing something I've dreamt of, which sadly reveals my true nature. We're streaming courses to students all over the world (Canada) for students in UTC's online Engineering Management program. We're using a combination of Windows Media Encoder, Blackboard, Mimio, and other free and cheap apps and products to do what other schools are doing for thousands and even hundreds of thousands of $$. Basically you hear the professor and see whatever they are presenting on the computer or on the Whiteboard. However, in the class running tonight for Dr. Alp you can also see the teacher and students on a webcam. If anyone wants to see a sample let me know..
Other than that, I'm also taking a class that is entirely online from Dr. Adsit, but there isn't any fancy video streaming and probably not any need for it, though the class is a History of Instructional Technology.
